PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, November 28, 1980
Page 7
ONTARIO, OR--JEFF McGOWAN: People very enthusiastic about being
directly involved in The PLAIN TRUTH distribution progrum.
LUBBOCK, TX--KEITH WALDEN: Brethren eager to hear about Refreshing
Program info.
Everyone says the sermons are like the "Old Days,"
clear and easy to understand.
BAKERSFIELD, CA--ALFRED J. MISCHNICK: This was a banner month for
this pastor.
The privilege of attending the Refreshing Program
just prior to the fall festivals is almost beyond comprehension.
SHREVEPORT, LA--BILL BRADFORD: The Refreshing Program was one of
the most rewarding experiences of my ministry.
I could not help
but be impressed by the example of every lecturer being so partic
ular to teach only what Mr. Armstrong approved.
It was so obvious
that God's Government is thriving in Pasadena.
I only hope I can
institute God's Government and God's way to the same extent here.
IOWA CITY, IA--DIVID HAVIR: The Iowa Churches greatly appreciated
the opportunity to combine for the arrival of a guest speaker on a
holy day.
The brethren enjoyed the fellowship and the chance to
hear Mr. Rader.
WICHITA, KS--JUDD KIRK: The only thing I can say about the month of
September is that the Feast of Tabernacles dominated our thoughts
and activities--and well worth it!!!
Many very encouraging comments
from various of the members.
Mr. Armstrong involved with everything
to a greater degree was a very important factor.
The experience of
being united and of being able to hear from Mr. Armstrong was a
boost to the whole Church!!
NORTH PLATTE, NE--DON HOOSER: We just heard about the California
Attorney General dropping the charges against the Church!
Hallelu
jah!
It's about time!
However, it happened more suddenly than I
expected.
We know there will be more trials to come, but we can
certainly be thankful that this reproach is removed from God's Name
and Church.
TULSA, OK--D.E. MASON: Overall attitude very positive.
Persecution
only seems to make Church here stronger.
PORTLAND
(EAST), OR--JIM HAEFFELE: Church attendance has risen in the
last four months.
We have very encouraging PM growth in two outlying
areas.
Weekly Letter Comments
This week members and co-workers share accounts of how abundantly God has
blessed them for obeying the law of tithing.
Then readers relate how they
have been uplifted and inspired by Mr. Armstrong's book, TOMORROW...WHAT
IT WILL BE LIKE!
Finally, as a result of Mr. Rader's visits to local
churches, many brethren have gotten to know him better and have expressed
their love and respect for him.
